Rachaad White Expected to Elevate Game as Commanders' Lead Back

Rachaad White is being counted on to step up as the Washington Commanders' primary running back with Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve. White has struggled for efficiency through five games while battling a shoulder injury, posting 145 yards on 36 carries (4.0 yards per carry) without a touchdown and catching 83 receiving yards. Washington needs the fifth-year veteran to increase his productivity in both the rushing and passing attacks.
